SNL Weekend Update Summer Edition Blasts Donald Trump’s Phoenix Rally

“SNL Weekend Update: Summer Edition” is the gift that keeps on giving and this week we got the return of Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump.

Thursday night’s edition of the show poked fun at the embarrassingly unhinged Trump rally that was held in Phoenix, Arizona earlier in the week. During that divisive speech, Trump sent dog-whistles to his supporters while defending his controversial comments about the violence in Charlottesville.

You knew SNL wasn’t going to let him get away with that.

During the skit, they also poked fun at the lone African-American supporter who was spotted with a “Blacks For Trump” sign directly behind the president. That man was later identified as a former member of the Yahweh Ben Yahweh cult, who was charged with conspiring to murder two people.

Baldwin also provides his spot-on ad libs that are reminiscent of the absurdity that is Donald Trump and the president’s inability to complete a coherent thought.
